I recycle bulk amounts of aluminum cans. Mostly because it's good for humans and the earth but you also get a small check. Usually deliver a truck load to the recycling plant.

So there are definite attempts to keep a light on things to prevent black markets and stay credible and prevent fraud. Copper piping is also a big problem area. Thieves will go and strip entire houses of all copper piping in a night.
